Jeffries, Ridley Exam 1 Flashcards
B and T cell function
adaptive immunity
distinguish self from non self
recognize and destroy specific foreign agents
b cells
humoral imminutiy
secrete antibodies to seek out and destroy a pathogen in the blood or mucosal surgaces (extracellular)
principle defense against microbed and their toxins
T cells
cell mediated immunity and pathogen destruction
eliminates intracellular pathogens like viruses and develop receptors to recognize viral proteins to signal destruction
Inflammation
redness (rulor) vasodilation, increased circulation
heat (calor) vasodilation, increased circulation, increased interstitial fluid levels
Pain (dolor) swelling presses on pain receptors, prostaglandins signal pain
Swelling (tumor) increased interstitial fluid, blocked lymphatic draining, vasodilation
Loss Of Function-edema and pain
Chemical mediators of inflammatory response
histamine and bradykinin send stress signal to vasodilate
lysosomes digest foreign material within the cell
leukocytes (neutrophils first, then macrophages) for extra cellular phagocytosis
Why is fever important?
increases metabolic rate for faster tissue repair
macrophages secrete pyrogen which resets body’s internal thermostat to a higher degree
4 hypersensitivities
anaphylaxis
cytotoxic
immune complex
cell mediated
anaphylaxis (type 1)
IgE
mast cells, basophils release histamine-prostaglandins-leukotrienes-shock
Type II Cytotoxic
activate complemt IgG or IgM to lyse antigenic cell transfusions pemphigus good pastures graves disease myasthemia gravis
Graves Disease
goiter, exophthalmos
type II
myasthenia gravis
progressive muscle weakness ptosis of eye, face neck, limbs
Type II
Immune Complex Type III
soluble antigens in serum serum sickness arthus reaction-edema, hemorrhage, necrosis systemic lupus erythematosus RA
arthus reaction
edema
hemorrhage
necrosis
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
type III
butterfly rash on face
rash, oral ulcers, arthritis, proteinuria, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, photosensitivity
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Type III
Chronic autoimmune disorger
swelling and heat in joints
